|
B. |

10
ARTICLE XIII
OFFSET
In the event of insolvency of either the Company or the Reinsurer, offset shall be permitted in accordance with the terms of this Article and as otherwise permitted by Section 7427 of the Insurance Law of the State of New York. Subject to the foregoing, each party hereto shall have, and may exercise at any time and from time to time, the right to offset any balances, whether on account of premiums or on account of losses or otherwise, due from such party to the other party hereto under this Agreement or under any other agreement heretofore or hereafter entered into by and between them, and may offset the same against any balance or balances due or to become due to the former from the latter under the same or any other agreement between them; and the party asserting the right of offset shall have and may exercise such right whether the balance or balances due or to become due to such party from the other are on account of premiums or on account of losses or otherwise and regardless of the capacity, whether as Company or as Reinsurer, in which each party acted under the agreement or, if more than one, the different agreements involved.
ARTICLE XIVSALVAGE AND SUBROGATION
In the event of any salvage and/or subrogation received in respect of claims and settlements under the policies relating to the Subject Business, the salvage and/or subrogation shall be coordinated under this and other applicable reinsurance of the Subject Business by reference to the order of Company’s reinsurance cessions under the definition of Article V H, Retained Reserves. First, the salvage and/or subrogation shall be paid with respect to the reinsurance contract or contracts which are obligated to pay Company first on the Subject Business for amounts in excess of that reinsurer’s held reserves as of
11
June 30, 2006 (the “Held Reserves”). Once such amounts paid by such reinsurers in excess of their respective Held Reserves have been fully reimbursed, any additional subrogation and/or salvage shall then be applied to the amount of each such reinsurer’s Held Reserves, starting with the reinsurer of the Subject Business whose obligation to pay Company occurs last and proceeding to the reinsurer so obligated to pay first. If two or more reinsurers have obligations to pay Company on the Subject Business which occur simultaneously, the subrogation and/or salvage shall be divided between them in proportion to the amount each of them is obligated to pay as a part of the amount of their combined obligation to pay.
The Company hereby agrees to enforce such subrogation rights as it may obtain by virtue of payments made under the policies relating to the Subject Business, but in case it shall refuse or neglect to do so, Reinsurer is hereby authorized and empowered to bring any appropriate action to enforce such rights.
All subrogation recoveries, other recoveries, salvage or payments made subsequent to the payment of claims hereunder shall be applied as if made before such payment of claims and shall be made as soon as practicable.
ARTICLE XVDELAYS, ERRORS, AND OMISSIONS
Any inadvertent delay, error, or omission made in connection with this Agreement or any transaction hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability that would have attached had such delay, error, or omission not occurred, provided that any error or omission is rectified as soon as reasonably practical.
12
ARTICLE XVI
AMENDMENTS AND ALTERATIONS
This Agreement may be changed, altered, or amended as the parties may agree, provided such change, alteration, or amendment is evidenced in writing or by endorsement executed by the Company and the Reinsurer and provided further that any such change, alteration or amendment has been previously filed for approval with the Superintendent of the New York Insurance Department for his review and non-objection thereto.
ARTICLE XVIIACCESS TO RECORDS
Provided the Reinsurer gives at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice, it or its designated representatives, provided such representatives are reasonably acceptable to the Company, shall have the right to inspect at any reasonable time, in the office of the Company where the files are located, all records of the Company that pertain in any way to this Agreement; the Reinsurer’s right of inspection shall survive expiration or cancellation of this Agreement, so long as any claim or premium matters remain outstanding.
All non-public information provided in the course of the inspection shall be kept confidential by the Reinsurer as against third parties, except as respects any obligation to do so by law or contract.
ARTICLE XVIIIRESERVES AND FUNDING
A. |
Reinsurer hereby agrees to establish reserves for the policies relating to the Subject Business being reinsured under this Agreement in accordance with the requirements of Article 69 of the New York Insurance Laws. With
respect to the Subject Business, the Company agrees that, when it files with the Insurance Department or sets up on its books |
13
reserves for losses (including loss and loss expense paid by the Company but not recovered from the Reinsurer, and loss and loss expense reported and outstanding) and unearned premium, which it is required by law to set up,
it shall forward to the Reinsurer a statement showing the proportion of such reserves applicable to it. |
||
B. |
The Reinsurer shall take all steps necessary to comply with the provisions of Article 69 of the New York Insurance Laws and all applicable laws and regulations so as to permit the Company to obtain full credit on its
statutory financial statements for the reinsurance provided by this Agreement in all applicable jurisdictions, including, without limitation, compliance with Section 6906 of the New York Insurance Law, to the extent credit is not otherwise available
under applicable law or regulations. It is understood and agreed that any term or condition required by such law or regulation to be included in this Agreement for the Company to receive financial credit for the reinsurance provided by this
Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated in this Agreement by reference. |
|
C. |
If the Company is unable to take credit on its statutory statements for the reinsurance provided by this Agreement, the Reinsurer will post security in the form of a Letter of Credit and/or Trust Account in an amount and in a
form which will entitle the Company to obtain such credit under the New York insurance laws and regulations. |
14
ARTICLE XIX
INSOLVENCY
In the event of the insolvency of the Company and the appointment of a liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, reinsurance due under this Agreement shall be payable with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of the liability of the Company resulting from claims allowed against the Company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor having authority to allow such claims without diminution because of such insolvency or because such liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims.
Payments by the Reinsurer as set forth above shall be made directly and exclusively to the Company or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor except as provided by subsection (a) of section 4118 of New York Insurance Law or except (a) where this Agreement specifies another payee in the event of the insolvency, or (b) the Reinsurer, with the consent of the direct insureds, has assumed such policy obligations of the Company as direct obligations to the payees under such policies in substitution for the obligations of the Company to such payees.
In the event of the insolvency of the Company, the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor shall give written notice of the pendency of a claim against the Company under policies reinsured within a reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding. During the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurer has the right but not the duty to investigate said claim and interpose in the proceeding where the claim is to be adjudicated, at its own expense, any defense or defenses that it may deem available to the Company, or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer will be chargeable against the Company, subject to court approval, against the insolvent Company as part of the expense of
15
liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to the Company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer. Where two or more reinsurers are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elects to interpose defense to such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though such expense had been incurred by the Company. Should the Company go into liquidation or should a receiver be appointed, the Reinsurer will be entitled to exercise any offset rights specifically provided by this Agreement and to offset any other sums permitted under applicable law.
ARTICLE XXARBITRATION
Any and all disputes or other matter in question relating to this Agreement, including its formation, interpretation and performance or breach of this Agreement, whether the dispute arises before or after the termination of this Agreement, shall be resolved by a panel of three arbitrators and such arbitration shall be initiated at the written request of either party within a reasonable time after dispute has arisen.
The members of the panel shall be US citizens and shall be active or retired disinterested officers of insurance or reinsurance companies.
An arbitrator shall be chosen by each party and the two so chosen shall choose the third. If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of being requested to do so by the other party, the requesting party may choose both arbitrators who shall choose the third. In the event the two arbitrators are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment each of them shall name five, of whom the other shall decline four and the decision shall be made by drawing lots.
16
The party requesting arbitration shall submit its case within thirty (30) days of the selection of the third arbitrator and the respondent shall submit its case thirty (30) days thereafter or as otherwise extended by the arbitration panel. The panel shall make its decision with regard to the custom and practice of the applicable insurance and reinsurance business. The panel shall not be obligated to follow all judicial formalities and may abstain from following the strict rules of evidence and procedure except to the extent required by governing law.
Each party shall bear the expenses of the arbitrator it selected and shall share equally with the other in the expenses of the third arbitrator and the arbitration. The panel shall issue its decision as promptly as possible following the completion of a hearing, if there is one, but in no event may punitive damages be awarded. The majority decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon all parties to the proceeding. Judgment may be entered upon the award of the panel in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In no event will the panel award punitive, exemplary or enhanced compensatory damages.
The arbitration shall take place in New York, New York.
ARTICLE XXIRATING OF THE REINSURER
If the Reinsurer is downgraded by Standard and Poor's or Xxxxx'x Investors Service (a "Downgrade") and as a result of such Downgrade, the Company is receiving less financial credit from a rating agency with respect to the reinsurance provided by this agreement than it did prior to the Downgrade, the parties will work together and take reasonable steps to ensure that the Company receives financial credit for the reinsurance from the applicable rating agency to the same extent as it did prior to the Downgrade.
